Even though the call quality of the HTC Droid Incredible is quite good, we found that calls on the Motorola DROID X sounded noticeably better on our end as voices were clearer and more natural sounding, and we were able to hear low to high tones through the earpiece speaker without any distortion, even with the volume turned all the way up. The rear speakerphone was also more distortion-free. People that we called said we sounded very clear on their end when using the Motorola DROID X, more so than when using the HTC Droid Incredible, which is most likely due to the noise cancellation mic on the DROID X. The signal reception was nearly identical on both devices as it didn’t drop any calls, and we had 3-4 bars showing in high-coverage areas with -87dB of signal strength.

The smartphone’s battery is its life-line and can either make or break the device. The included 1540mAh battery with the Motorola DROID X was able to provide us a remarkable 9 hours and 30 minutes of continuous talk time on a full charge, or up to 30 hours of mixed usage (which includes some talk, text, email, web, app usage, and standby). Meanwhile, the HTC Droid Incredible comes with a smaller 1300mAh battery, which we could only get up to 5 hours and 30 minutes of talk time on a full charge, or about 20 hours of mixed usage. Once again, it is proven that a higher capacity battery is key to having a smartphone one can use when needed, without the worry of having the battery die.

Conclusion:

The clear winner here for most people is the Motorola DROID X, as it offers a larger, 4.3” display, excellent call quality, better looking camera images and video with HDMI out, and has overall faster performance with better battery life. Though the HTC Droid Incredible is better suited for those individuals looking for a more compact smartphone with a smaller screen and are fond of HTC Sense UI. If it were up to us, we’d like to see a Motorola DROID X running Sense UI, as that would be the best of both worlds (hardware and software), but since that isn’t going to happen, we’ll have to make do with the DROID X as-is and await the Android 2.2 update.

The HTC Droid Incredible is currently available through Verizon Wireless with a price of $199.99, after a $100 rebate and with a 2-year contract agreement. Just keep in mind that it may take up to a month for you to get your Droid Incredible order. Starting on July 15th the Motorola DROID X will also be available through Verizon Wireless for $199.99, after a $100 rebate and with a 2-year contract agreement. Both smartphones require a minimum Talk plan of $39.99/month and a Data plan of $29.99/month.

If you are with VZW, and aren't planning on leaving, then the iPhone isn't an option. If you love the iPhone, then neither of these phones is an option. So this is a very apt comparison. I prefer the incredible personally, but this review was pretty comprehensive and helps consumers understand the tradeoffs with each device.

Put the Sense UI on the Droid X? No thanks! Seriously, what does the integrated Sense UI offer? Nothing. Only the widgets are cool. HTC should separate the widgets from the UI. Home replacement apps like ADW Launcher do more than Sense. The integrated UI just makes it longer for firmware updates to arrive. The Droid X will get Froyo (and Gingerbread) long before the Incredible.

Thank you! I don't understand what everyone loves so much about Sense UI. Before I got my Moto Droid I loved Sense on my Touch Pro 1/2 and Imagio but once I used the stock Android OS I really didn't like Sense that much anymore... it sounds silly but the fact that contacts are "People" and such other changes to me make the phone seem like it's geared towards the younger customer base.

Sense UI provides T9 text entry through the phone keypad. If someone is switching from an old style flip phone and isn't used to using qwerty, OR if you need to text one handed, OR if you have really big thumbs, this is indispensable.

They r the same things but the incredible is HTC wich usually turns out better considering Motorola bad past and that the x already is showing lots of screen problems,lagging,and the same problem as the iPhone

The only thing I have to say about the picture quality is that it looks as if the HTC camera is polarized. You can especially see it when looking at the pic of the tree and seeing the sky behind it, the blue is much deeper. A good way to test is to see how much sunlight is reflected back of off water or something other then a shiny surface that has a high gloss.
Other then that, I've had both and I found the HTC Incredible touch screen to be very annoying. I was constantly calling people that I didn't intend to call.
